dragging?
I just bought a 1990 Volvo 240dl with 270,000 mile on it from original owner.
On the way home I noticed Volvo ran dragging something behind.
try to adjust timing after I got home but timing is not changing even distributer turned all the way, also idle is not changing whilerotate distributer back and forth.
I could not figured what cause it.
Can you please help this issue ?
Thank youin advance.

RE: dragging?
You can't adjust the timing on that car as it is computer controlled.
How well has it been maintained by the previous owner? It may just need a tune-up - new plugs, wires etc.
You can also check if any fault codes have been set by using the on-board diagnostic unit located in the engine compartment.

RE: dragging?
Thanks billofdurham, Good to know I don't have to mess with timing.
Previous owner maintained the car very well.
But don't know when tune up had done at this moment, I'll do it any way.
I don't have good ideas about on-board diagnostic unit. I found small black plastic box in the engine compartment front of driver side.
But I don't see any display device in the black box.
Do I have to buy unit to read fault codes?
